What we are trying to show
here is exactly what kind of performance increases you should expect
when upgrading from an XP chip to the new 64 bit AMD CPU's. Both of
these systems are run threw FutureMark's PCMarko4 software with base
configurations and generic memory. Now please note that performance on
the 64 bit system could be increased even more by adding SATA driver
rather then IDE. We chose to stay with IDE on this test just to keep the
hardware as similar as possible. Hope you enjoy!!!
